27 1. Can planners help carry out meaningful local economic development strategies and build community assets for sustainable economic development? 2. How can planners be more than mere conveners? 3. How do planners mitigate the inherent conflicts between planning for the long term and incentivizing short-term benefits

28 Queries Take a moment and think about your position, your role, your history with organization (current/past) as it relates to job/wealth creation or revitalization, redevelopment, local economy Can you point to an example or two where you/your office had a pivotal role? Describe and discuss. What was role of PLANNING? Conflicts/consensus? Who were actors? What were the roles? Who took the lead? Why? What happened? Why? What else do you think will happen? Why? Is this what you expected? Why/why not? What would you do differently next time?

29 Takeaways: Planners can Understand/communicate/support the local economy and its role in the regional economy Create/maintain/redevelop places attractive to talent Recognize/anticipate/address changing needs and one-time shocks to the economy
